 The Board reviewed the report of the Strategic Director for Education, Culture and Skills on online funding for City academies.

The following matters were raised:-

• Members noted the contents of the paper, along with the advantages and disadvantages of online funding options. The Board was of the opinion that it may be more appropriate for officers to draft a brief guidance note that could be shared with schools in order that individual decisions could be made by them as to the merits of online funding.

RESOLVED - That a guidance note on online funding be drafted by officers and circulated to schools in order for them to consider this guidance and make their individual decisions with regard to the particular context of the school.
